I checked mcmaster. They had only the large v belts, unfortunantly. The
small belts (those on the 9/20 lathes are 3/16 in. wide for 3/4 hp) apparantly
are made only by Gates and they have calculator for figuring belt size but
it requires some learning. I was hoping for someone with a Chinese 12/36 lathe
and 1.5 hp motor who might check the belt size.

Is the 4L you mentioned one of the smaller types? Also, any idea
of who makes them?

up for 1.5 hp?

I'd go with a 4L belt , IIRC it's about 7/16" wide at the top .
